Live Rediscovered Treasures From The Classic Years Original Recording Remastered - Ken Colyer's Jazzmen (CD)

This new CD contains over an hour of previously unheard, digitally remastered tracks from what was considered to be Colyer's classic line-up from the late 50's playing standards, blues, spirituals and rags in their relaxed and inspired way. The tapes were found during a house clearing session in the carrier bag in which they had lain forgotton since a house move in 1980.

All the exciting ambience of Colyer's Studio '51 basement club is recaptured here including a bonus number from Ken's pioneering skiffle group. These sessions were recorded on location during the 50's, including the famous Eel Pie Island in 1957.
